Meet The Managers
Cafe Manager
Victoria Corney-Young
Vicky worked within the pharmaceutical industry for many years then moved to work within the catering industry. She had a passion for baking and was learning to roast coffee. This led to her setting up her own mobile catering and coffee business, which ran for many years until the pandemic. Her business was often seen supporting many of the local community events within Dover and East Kent, and extended to donating excess food and stock to local charities.
